Thrifted: Sparklin' 1920s

I still owe you dears a post on what I thrifted in England! Now I primarily spend money on foods & drinks in the UK, so there is little to show... quantity wise that is...... but when it comes do quality, my oh my did I stumble upon yet another pearl. In a little charity shop that supports cancer research I came across this beautiful twenties inspired cocktail dress. It has the comfort of a modern dress, but the look of a true roaring gem (well, a little bit more fitted in the waist). I can NOT wait to take this beauty out..... I think I will pair her with a beautiful stole and pearls a galore...

OH that is a stunning dress! Completely breathtaking <3 love it! I would style so that the dress is the centre of all the attention and just some small details, like a matching purse or so. Not to heavy jewellery :) But anything would be wonderful together with that dress.

A wonderfully beautiful dress! Do you know if it is hand beaded? I very much admire the time that it takes to hand bead gowns. I might suggest a nice sparkly head band (20s inspired) to match this lovely dress. Or a wonderful shawl.

Definitely with finger waves! Hope you enjoyed the UK and our many many charity shops that I often go for hunting trips with friends. Also well done for the fabulous find!May x'Walking In May' is running a *GIVEAWAY*, find out more or enter: http://www.walkinginmay.com/2013/12/giveaway-happy-3rd-blog-anniversaryand.html
